Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to wear a helmet while on an e-scooter?
Yes. Oregon Law requires helmets for all e-scooter riders, regardless of age.
Where are e-scooters allowed on campus?
As with other personal mobility devices, e-scooters are allowed on designated bicycle routes. Within the 'parking limited' boundary shown on the map above, e-scooters must be parked in a designated parking area.
What is the university doing to ensure safety on campus?
The Eugene E-Scooter pilot has a number of built in safety features, including:
- An in-app safety orientation for all new users covering operating rules in Eugene.
- A lower speed limit for all riders on their first ride.
- Slow-ride and No-Ride zones that automatically slow or stop the scooter in congested or sensitive areas.
On campus, users will be required to end their ride in a designated parking area and take a picture of the parked scooter.
Who do I contact if there is a problem?
E-scooters provided by Superpedestrian automatically detect most mechanical issues, including e-scooters that are tipped over. If you see an e-scooter that is parked outside of a designated area or has a mechanical issue, use the Superpedestrian support email or phone number. Issues reported in this way will route directly into the local operator's work-ticket system.
